STOVEPIPE MOUNTING.

Application filed July 5,

T 0 all whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, ANTON KATRINA, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Yukon, in the county of Westnioreland and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Stovepipe Mountings, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in stove pipe mountings and has for its primary object to provide a standard size of chimney mounting in which. a stove pipe is removably supported with a disk plate associated with the mounting and stove pipe to hold the same rigidly supported.

A further object of the invention is to provide a removable disk plate for a chimney sleeve and having a central opening therein to support a stove pipe, the disk plate being removable to permit substitution of another with a different size opening to accommodate stove pipes of different diameters.

With the above and other objects in view as the nature of the invention is better un derstood, the same consists of the novel form, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described, shown in the accompanying drawing and claimed.

In the drawing, wherein like reference characters designate corresponding parts throughout the several views,

Fig. 1 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view of a stove pipe mounting constructed in accordance with the present invention, a portion of the chimney wall being shown in section,

Fig. 2 is a front elevational view of the same,

Fig. 3 is a rear elevational view, and

Fig. 4 is a fragmentary front elevational view showing one of the pivotal cleats shifted to a releasing position with respect to the disk plate.

Referring mor in detail to the accompanying drawing, the reference numeral 1 designates a chimney wall having an opening 2 therein to accommodate the mounting of a stove pipe support. The support includes a tubular sleeve 3 carrying an outwardly directed annual flange 4 at one end forming a face plate engaging the outer side of the chimney wall 1 as shown in Fig. 1, while cross bars 5 are carried by the other ends of the sleeve 3 having projecting ends 1923. Serial No. 649,707.

overlying the inner face of the chimney wall 1 for permanently anchoring the sleeve 3 in the chimney opening 2.

A stove pipe 6 has the outlet end thereof positioned in the sleeve 3, as shown in Fig. 1, while a disk plate 7 having a central opening 8 is associated with the face plate 4 and stove pipe 6 to hold the latter centrally positioned in the mounting sleeve 3. The disk plate 7 carries an outwardly directly annular head 9 adjacent the peripheral edge thereof and is retained in position upon the face plate 4 by cleats 10 pivotally mounted as at 11 upon the face plate adjacent the peripheral edge with a curved extension arm 12 carried by the free swinging end of each cleat 10. l V

A standard size of mounting sleeve 3 may h provided to support stove pipes of various diameters, the disk plate 7 being interchangeable with plates having a central opening of the same diameter as the stove pipe being mounted, the disk plate 7 when positioned as illustrated in Fig. 4 adapted to be engaged by the curved arms 12 of the pivoted cleats 10 at the beaded portion 9 thereof as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the head 9 and curved arms 12 of the cleats forming a substantially resilient or spring connection between the face plate 4 and disk plate 7 for securely anchoring the stove pipe 6 in position in the sleeve 3. To remove the disk plate 7, the cleats 10 are shifted to the position shown in Fig. 4 to disengage the curved arms 12 thereof from the bead 9 of the disk plate, permitting the latter to be removed and replaced by the desired type of disk plate.

While there are herein shown and described the preferred embodiments of the present invention, it is nevertheless to be understood that minor changes may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed.

What I claim is In a stove pipe mounting, a wall sleeve positioned in a chimney wall and having a relatively wide annular end flange forming a face plate for the inner side of the chimney wall, a pair of crossed bars embedded in the outer end edge of said wall sleeve and projecting from the periphery thereof for engaging th face of the chimney for retaining the sleeve in the wall, a centrally apertured disk plate of greater diameter than the bore of said sleeve, an annuler, bead formed in said disk plate adjacent its peripheral edge, pivotal cleats carried by the end flange of said well sleeve and adapted to engage the bead 'fOlIIlGd in l s'aid disk plate for clamping the latter against the outer face of said end flange and for retaining the aperture of said disk plate in axial a-lineine-nt. with the hereof said Well sleeve, and a stove pipe having its outleteiid projecting into said Wall sleeve through the aperture in said disk plate. V

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

ANTON KATRINA.
